Remember When?

Join us for a wonderful program,Corn
and Khrushchev, presented by
Liz Garst. Using her
family experience in Coon Rapids, Liz recounts the history of agricultural
development in Iowa, from early settlement through the fabulous mid-century
explosion of farm productivity, based on the hybrid seeds, machinery,
fertilizers and livestock technologies promoted by her grandfather. Liz
tells how it came to pass that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and his family
visited the Garst family in 1959, and recalls fun stories from her personal memories
as an 8-year-old participant. Imbedded in the entertaining story are
history and economics lessons and a powerful message about the ability of an
individual to make a difference.
